    I agree wholeheartedly with Anne Askew, “she would not accept non-scriptural authorities over her own engagement with the Scriptures.”

    Fortunately, in today’s world, those of us who dare question religious authorities merely get shunned/blocked on social media as your great high exalted Elizabeth Eaton, ELCA, Benjamin Cremer, and several other social media religious spokespeople did to me on Twitter.

    I do, however, fear the coming day when true believers will be beheaded for their faith.

    Revelation 20:4Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

    It is indeed unfortunate that the denominations spawned by the reformation continued many of the errant doctrines/dogma, Feast Days/Holidays, and other non-Scriptural traditions established by the Catholic Church.

    Parting thought:
